title: The Agile City Building Game
abstract: |
Are you ready to start building your own city? Join a construction team, take your tools and
get ready to build a fantastic city while you learn fundamental principles of Lean software
development. You an your team will have to maximize value delivered to the people in your
city while you compete with other teams to show which is the best agile building team! The
objective of this game is to let you experience the fundamental principles behind Lean/Agile
software development while you have fun and learn with your partners. During the game, each
team will have to mockup buildings and objects in the city, using simple materials provided
by the organizers. Teams will get a story backlog, each one with an assigned business value.
Each team will carry out the stories within short iterations in order to maximize the value
delivered by the end of the game.

title: Understanding deployments
abstract: |
This workshop is a hands on, scratch the surface and dive deep into how to deploy your
applications into production. Knowing how things work is the first step towards understanding
what went wrong when your platform blew up at four in the morning that crazy Saturday. The
deployment environment is your platform's home and as its landlord you should know how to build
it from the ground up and keep it nice and tidy so that the tenants live happily ever after :).

title: Introducción a NoSQL
abstract: |
This workshop is an introduction to the different types of non-relational databases, like
key-value, columns, documents and graphs. Explaining the main aspects of each one, when they
are useful (and when they aren't,) and examples of different engines of each type.
NoSQL is a rising topic and so is their usage, but many programmers still don't know them
or just heard something about it, without knowing what they are or when they are useful.

We all have skeletons in our closet, ours or from our team. In this workshop we'll learn how
to modify hard to understand, highly coupled code, to transform it following and tending to
patterns, so it becomes a beautiful unicorn which complies with Sandi Metz's <a

four rules</a>, avoiding headaches, without "big bang refactors", and, of course, having fun.

title: "TDD IRL"
abstract: |
"Test Driven Development In Real Life" is a workshop for attendees to experience the use and essence of
TDD in Ruby. We'll develop an example together, and see the power of growing software with the security
that tests provide us. It is designed for people who have learnt the language, but do not necessarily
know the testing tools.
If you don't know the technique of TDD, or if you saw it only at University or some fancy videos, we
suggest you to come and do it in a real project.

Luis a.k.a 'luigibyte' is a programmer and inline skater. He came to the programming world because of
Ruby and since then he has focused on this language.
Since his start in the field, he encountered some nice people that teached him, so he sees this workshop
as an opportunity of giving up some of this.
They say that the last step to understand something is to teach it, so that's his goal.
<br/><br/>
Joaquín learnt to code when he was a child and wanted to hack the snake game in Basic that ran under DOS.
Since then he realised that programming was his thing. He came across a large variety of languages until
he met Ruby. He says that it was love at first sight. He likes to learn and teach new things all the time.
When he is not programming, he loves to travel, but he misses Buenos Aires from time to time. He dreams
to take his "office" on a RV across the world.
